A five-year-old boy named Vijay Guthariya fell into a borewell in MP's Alirajpur district and died after nearly five hours of rescue efforts. This tragic incident comes just a week after a similar incident in Rajgarh district. Both incidents involved five-year-old children visiting their maternal uncles who owned the borewells. The boy fell into the 20-ft-deep borewell on his uncle's land, triggering a rescue operation by SDERF and NDRF teams. Despite the rescue efforts, the boy could not be saved and was declared dead due to a blocked respiratory tract, possibly caused by inhaling dust and soil during the fall.
